I don't think anyone really knows what you're talking about. I doubt you know either. Why don't you explain what you're trying to say so everyone can understand it?
I'll do my best to take a shot to answer whatever in the hell you want answered.
If you're looking for some colorful, easily readable letters. That's what you call a bomb or a burner if you will. See swaneejuggalo's posts for examples of these, just without the full color it could be done at.
A piece is more complex. It contains a lot more detail to the letters. See my posts for examples of that.
Why piece? Why make it hard to read? To show off what you can do, basically. To show people you are more than just some simple letters. Graffiti doesn't always have to be readable to the people outside of the art, unless you are trying to make a point with something. If it is just a piece of your name, it don't really matter if those people can't read it. It only matters to those who are in the graffiti scene. And those are the people that CAN read those pieces that the others cannot read.

Shit, homie. Graffiti started way back in Rome or Egypt. Back when they used to carve writtings into walls and all that. As far as modern graffiti goes, from what I can remember, back in 1970 something, some guy named Taki was one of the first graffiti artists to catch the medias attention. He wasn't the first graffiti writer, but just the first one to gain attention. He was from New York. His job allowed him to travel around the city all day. He began putting his name up on subways during his travels and all that. I'm sure this is how many of the first writers began as well. Oh yeah, he had a number at the end of his name too, that's what made people wonder who he was. And from him, many others got into it and it became a big thing, especialy in New York. Now it's apart of the elements of Hip-Hop. You can still find it world-wide now, whether it's a graff artisit putting his name up or someone stenciling some letters to make a point about something, it's everywhere. Worst part about it though, graffiti isn't what it used to be. Immature cats got into it and don't know what they're doing. Heard about some kids over here that went over a gang with a simple hit up. Lil kids got dealt with and probably won't ever pick up a can again. Kids need to learn some history about their city and the crews around before they even think about going over somebody.
Creative idea with the whole Tech and can combination. What are you using to color your sketches in? The blending switches up. Some parts are blended with little lines, others big. But, blending can be done a lot better depending on what you're using to color with. Prismacolors seem to be the best thing when coloring and blending. They have ink markers as well as color pencils. Only thing is they can be expensive.
And also, the building thing in the back seems a little too plain and too high up from the letters. The bottoms of the buildings should have at least came down the the arrows on the left side and to the bottom of the loop on the right.
